I think Richard is talking about an 11x14 page size, not spread size. This is what I use for most of my large scores as well. I buy a ream of 11x17 paper (off-white, 70lb offset) and have the bottom 3" trimmed off to give me 11x14.
Most of the places where I have conducted have conductors' stands with an oversized desk, something like 30x20; Wenger makes a very nice one that many orchestras have. But in a pinch, an 11x14 score will fit adequately on two regular stands put side by side, whereas an 11x17 score will have too much hanging over the edge.
